You don't need to have it figured out before you reach out. A first conversation is just that — a conversation about where you are and whether this kind of work makes sense.
When you reach out: You can say what's going on, how long it's been this way, and what you're hoping for. Or say less. We'll figure out the rest together.
If you haven't heard back: I respond to everyone. Something got lost. Reach out the other way.
Reach out and we'll figure out where to start together.
